Amazfit T-Rex Pro: What worked and what didn't 

Review of your video: This is the first of your videos I've seen. I am considering purchasing this watch and your review was in depth enough to cover the gaps in other research I've done. The only thing missing, in my opinion, is a in depth test and review of the durability claims. That aside, I must say that your presentation was well designed and enacted. I appreciate the honest pro and con style that you said you are trying in your more recent videos. Without having seen any other videos I can say this format is informative and engaging. I thank you for the time and effort you put into this and I will return to your channel again if you have reviewed a product I am considering purchasing. I hope this has helped and encouraged you.

The benefit of the navigation buttons comes into play with watersports / swimming / surfing etc. The Touchscreen doesnt work too well in those environments. All in all this is an amazing flippen watch - its fully changed my life around. Its always pushing you to get active and get those PAI scores up above 100. Highly recommend. This is 100% associated with Sports tracking and increasing your fitness.

Awesome review on a product I've actually been looking for information for thank you sir seeing those pebble devices in your Bluetooth history brought back memories man I miss pebble

I like this format. Very informative and helpful. I almost got the AmazeFit bip because it makes me think of the old Pebble Watch. I LOVED my pebble watch.

Love the what works and what doesn't format!

Your videos are really soothing and been following you since 2017😁

Would love more of the what works and what does not..Thanx for the great content!

Reyyyyy tea! Bottoms up! Good presentation bud! Very well executed and so smooth, well done! Thanks for sharing, I liked the what works and doesn’t, that’s all I want to know! Nailed it!👍🏻

You dropped the bomb that it's just a rugged activity tracker. However I'll still buy it for it's looks.

Love the format of what works and what doesn't! I missed in this video the outdoor functionalities like GPS, maps and training functionalities like the recovery time and oxygen consumption during you are activities. Basically, that the selling point of this smartwatch, the outdoor activities and durability. So it'd have been fantastic if you try these functions before doing the review. That would be my only constructive criticism. For the rest, congrats I loved it! Keep it up! And thanks for the review!

Josh, your notis are outta control, bruh. 😅 Great video, as always.

I have the basic (non-pro version), and honestly I'm very happy with it. Paid 60€ for it, it's rugged, it's comfortable, I like the style, battery lasts a ridiculous amount of time and tracks all I need. I don't care about notifications at all. I moved from the Mi Band to this and I can just say: worth it.

I brought this watch. It's does the job for me. I needed to be notified of calls and text, big face design, always-on-display, and water proofing while I'm in the rain. My apple watch SE does the same with more accurate information. This is a cheaper smart ⌚. You get what you pay for.

Glad I watched this before ordering one. I'm still happy with my bip u pro 👍

Amazfit wants you to use the strap screws that comes with the watch. That's why it doesn't support regular watch bands. Standard spring bars are slightly magnetic. So the built-in compass sensor will not work with aftermarket straps. I've tried watch strap adapters from ebay. The spring bars always causes issues with compass.

Nice review Joshua! I am wearing the T-Rex 2 right now and watched your video to see the differences between the T-Rex Pro and the T-Rex 2. And yes, I liked your video format - "what worked and what didn't" 😀👍

Awesome vid man, thank you!

Yes please, make more of 'what worked and what didn't'

What a classy watch.. amazefit nailed it ! 🔥👏

Like the video format and the watch. I like these watches that I don't have to babysit them

Great review. Thank you so much.

Great review man, the idea behind the buttons is it gives the user a way to operate the watch fully while wearing gloves or if the screen is wet etc. I have both the Verge and the T-rex pro and really rate them both, the only thing I wish the T-rex pro had was the ability to do bluetooth calling. Bu then I suppose it wouldn't be nearly as waterproof.

Hey Josh loved the review

I'm a UK viewer. Nice and informative video! Do I have to select the "you're not moving enough" reminder, as I haven't experienced this yet. At times I really do need a reminder. Many thanks. Terry Davis

love this design . i want one

what im getting from your review is almost mirroring exactly what the t-rex is for. its made to be strong, bulky, and thick. if you want more gadgets, they have better ones for that but for the role it's filling i think it does it well

Great review!!!

Yess , I love the format . Its much better than other booring common review .

Really pro review. Great stuff 👍

Josh great video. What are your thoughts on the Garmin Instinct?

I owned this wacth and i like it for it works and did accompanied me at all time

I want to buy this watch..it's awesome watch to buy ...thanks for the info brother..

Very articulate video👍🏼👍🏼

Josh, I don't comment so much on these video reviews, but I had to tell your that I liked yours. You spoke just a bit too fast, but I was able to understand everything. (I have taught myself over the years to speak slower, so people can follow what I'm saying, lol.) Anyway, nicely done. Except... I'm still in the dark about a few things....

Great timinig! Was just thinking about buying this watch.

Hey you did a great job really nice show us how the altimeter works in the compass in the biometric pressure

I'm stuck between this t-rex Pro or the new g-shock gsw-h1000 that's coming out soon, I love the look of both, but can the g-shock justify the price tag??

I just bought this at wal mart! For 109.99! I was shocked at the amount of features and battery life for such a price, and the only thing I researched about it was to check if it worked with IOS. It does, and well. I have Aspergers and it oddly counts my rocking motions as “steps”. But that’s fair as I am getting exercise when doing that. I was thrilled that this is a pretty highly rated product for the price, but also see that it is a 2021 year product, and I’m not too familiar with any sub model upgrades which may have been released in those two years but I feel I suppose in late 2023 it is showing some age, but still a sexy and well functioning watch for $109 for certain. I will make a video of my experience after a few weeks too.

Previous Amazfit watches I own have pretty iffy GPS. I'd really need to know if GPS is good on this considering buying one.

Is that an Oura Ring? Any plans on a review of that little guy? Curious of your thoughts (unless of course its not an Oura Ring, then nevermind).

i was thinking about purchasing this watch, because of the looks and feels more like G SHOCK and yeahh im so into G SHOCK, but the design are uniquely proven and yes surprisingly big looks and feel comfortable. If asking me about G SHOCK, honestly the H1k dont have what they say watch faces (only a few to chose from). Amazfit T Rex Pro looks promising and more cheaper. Thanx for the honest review. I will buy this now. Thanx.

Very well spoken 👍

Nice Review. I had a disappointing experience with the Amazfit GT3 Pro about the Tides forecast. I live in a island and there was no way of having the Tides calculated at or nearby my location. Have you tested the Tides in the T-Rex Pro ? I really like it but...I need the Tides to go fishing :-)

what is your wrist size brother bdw amazing video u got a sub❤❤

Does it support calling function??

What about music on things like Pandora and signal strength, also are all of the functions usable without being near your phone?

Thanks

I like my T-Rex one.... But not sure if I'd upgrade.... I like the rugged look. I also have that color. But now wish I purchased Black. But overall..I'm happy!

Blessed Sunday Sir JV and Everyone 🙏🏻

I have been trying to find a good smartwatch with my pixel 6 pro and I bought the trex pro and I like it its def more accurate then the galaxy watch 4 I have and the battery is so much better it's not perfect but it does the job

I want to see the band 6 review. 😊

Could you make a video on the Realme Watch S Pro?

hi Joshua, can this watch be use as a remote camera shutter?

will t rex pro work with external blueetooth monitor ??

Amazing watch on a budget ^^

How about connecting with strava? Does it fit the data precisely? How about the comparison of coros or polar ou garmin precision compare t rex pro ?

can you use this watch and bluetooth earbuds at the same time???? please answer

Whilst I don't expect to be to answer calls, being able to respond to text messages with preset messages would be great

Any opinion bout huawei gt2 pro vibration? Is it as strong as this one?

How do u not make the screen lock during workout ?

Just get the GTR2. Same interface and functions in a metal case that looks great with anything.

I'm looking for a Smart watch that will be good for me because i rides a lot of Monti bikes I just crashed my Apple watch 4 and I think this one will now meet all my needs even if I fall off the bike🤷

Can you remotely control the phone camera shutter with this watch?

would you consider de Amazfit GTR3 a classy version of this watch?

What's your wrist size? What's the best suited wrist size for this watch?

Does the song's voice came out from the watch or the phone?

Does this have a triathlon mode?

thank you for this review. One look at the manual told me I wont be using it. If I do it will require a magnifying glass and my eyesight is 20/20

What make me like this T-Rex Pro is that it rated to go 100 meters under water which will be more enough for me to use it while surfing. I look for many Smart Watches, but most are just water resistant's and says not met for swimming some say they are waterproof, but they are not and never giving you how deep you can go in meters.

Good review. Please note that “Stand Up” doesn’t actually imply that you should move from a lying down or sitting position to a fully upright standing position; it simply mean you should move about from an inactive or sedentary state to increase your cardiovascular system. The watch may have been more expensive when you posted this video as the current price is actually ideal considering the amoled screen and cost of similar devices. Perhaps an update on the device could be done. Thank you...

I would buy this watch if the screen would instantly be activated when turning wrists. I would be annoyed by the second or two that it needs to activate the watch face. Is it better now with updates?

What about VO2 max on T-Rex Pro?

I know it’s silly, but does all of the activity sync with the Apple health stuff? I have to use that for an insurance premium incentive

I am really happy with my T-REX PRO sofar, even the the third party watchfaces extend the happiness. You are right, always on is a feature that is adjustable to be smart at times you do not look at it at all. I do easily a week with always on specific watchfaces. If I use raise to wakeup it last 12 days or more. The only 2 things I miss is a tweak that lets you dim an always on watchface to 1% because some are brighter than the day-time watch face and an auto-detect workout mode like the Garmin HR has.

I purchased this watch, and one of the reasons was GPS position. On the official website it claims you will always know where you are, but I cannot find how to access this info. Anyone know where your position can be accessed? I am on the border of returning it, but I really love it otherwise. I can finally ocean surf and not have to worry about my smart watch.

Great review. Regarding raise to wake, I set it on "sensitive" and it is so responsive. Love the watch so far.

My question is how long does it take to fully charge the watch from zero?! I'm a little bit sick of waiting for 3hrs of charging a Samsung or Apple watch. Because I wear my watch nonstop everywhere. Anyone knows?

Yes I like that Sir. 👍🏼 - Way better than "complaints and takeaways"

The cardiac sensors of AmazeFit watches have a bad reputation for being inaccurate. For the first 5 minutes, it does its purpose well. Finally, it seems that even when at rest, hand motion may improve production.

do a review on amazfit gtr 2e

Tnx😎👍🏻

Can Amazfit Tools add camera shutter to the watch?

Does it look cheap in person

Does it have route tracking? If o lost some where can i route my way back ?

I'm completely happy with my 3 years old Galaxy Watch still getting updates

Can you see the sleep tracking info on the watch? I've heard it's not possible on this model.

What about yhe heart rate and sleep tracker is it accurate?

How do get the ecg to work?

The notification with this smart watch is a hit and miss with my Samsung galaxy phone.. ive missed a lot of notifications because sometimes it really doesn't work. Ive done everything but still same.😢

what is the app name that you are using instead of Zepp ?

Hi does it have play store in this watch?

Sir plzz can u give some idea about its music control I have recently bought this watch but it's music control always showing can't get song name plzz sir tell me how can I control music

Does it have route back function?

How do you use the trac back on a t rex pro.

Hey @Joshua Vergara can you do a what worked & what didn't review for the Mi Band 6, really want to hear you're thought on it.

anyone know what glasses and ring he is wearing ?

Is there any other affordable rugged smart watch other then t-rex pro?

Work with dumbbell mode?

Happy to hear that the vibration wakes you up in the morning! How does the vibration work? Does it vibrate until you stop it yourself? I just got a g shock Gbd-100 and it doesn't wake me up in the morning. I got it for the vibration alarm feature, it feels strong enough but the duration of the vibration is so little and only lasts 10 seconds. I would love to hear more about it. Thank you.

Dope you handled a other one
